[Carsten Gräser]

I can't reproduce the bug in 9.10 anymore. Regarding
 it seems to be an upstream bug. Seems to
be fixed in vim-7.2.

However I could not find a corresponding bug report/patch on the vim-dev
list.

The -f option is required to allow programs to invoke gvim and wait for
the user to exit gvim, as you can see from
.  Without the -f, gvim immediately
forks, thus returning control back to whatever process spawned it.
There are many other ways to start programs other than via Vim's ":!"
command.  There are not many other ways to allow programs to spawn gvim
and wait for the user to exit, thus why the decision was made to use the
-f option.
